从汇率角度看，东方金诚研究发展部高级副总监白雪在接受《证券日报》记者采访时分析，伴随美联储 降息以及美国经济降温，美元指数还将承受一定下行压力，这将为人民币带来被动升值动能。 不过，白雪也提醒，由于上半年美元跌幅巨大，后期也会有较强的抗跌韧性。国内基本面方面，逆周期 调节政策适时加力将确保经济运行基本稳定，这方面有充足的政策空间，将为人民币汇率提供重要的内 在支撑。由此，接下来人民币汇率预计仍将以稳为主，快速升值或大幅贬值的风险都不大。 从货币政策角度看，业界普遍认为，美联储重启降息，我国货币政策面临的外部掣肘将进一步减弱，操 作空间也将有所拓宽。 从人民币资产角度看，刘涛认为，境外资金有望在一定程度上加快流向人民币资产。中美利差进一步收 窄将吸引更多全球资金关注人民币资产。对于全球投资者而言，其本质是追求资产收益的最大化。在新 的利差预期变化下，投资人民币资产能够带来更为可观的收益，促使其重新调整资产配置组合，增加对 中国债券、股票等资产的持有比例，尤其是一些被低估优质资产和具备较高增长潜力的资产，从而有可 能带来更多增量流动性。 与上次降息时隔9个月，美联储重启降息终于"靴子落地"，这对于我国宏观经济有着 ...
